Comics Are For Kids

this thing im doing

[comicsareforkids]

El primero en una serie de cómics sobre la seguridad de protesta. Compártelos y agregalos a sus recursos como quieras. 

Esta infografía es una respuesta directa a las redadas de ICE en el junio de 2025 en Los Angeles, y las protestas que siguieron. En esta ciudad en que nos hemos vivido durante más de 10 años, estamos viendo un nivel nuevo de tácticas de intimidación por parte del LAPD y ahora, la Guardia Nacional. Los manifestantes tienen derechos constitucionales. Los inmigrantes tienen derechos consitucionales. Estos derechos están siendo ignorados por el LAPD y ICE.

 ¡SI SUS DERECHOS ESTÁN SIENDO VULNERADOS, LUCHA QUALQUIER MANERA QUE PUEDA!

 Esta comic fue creado por

We recognize the impotence of having protest and immigrant safety resources available in different languages. That being said, I have no direct connection to any community outside my limited social media reach. 

This is why I ask you, the community, to help get these comics where they need to go. Please share them wherever you think they might be applicable. Thank you.

Hey, your work is impressive! However; I do have a small point that worries me. In your last comic (part 4 of the protesting tips) the final panel depicts a character with a baseball bat and the line "it's a surveillance state, protect yourself".

I understand you're not telling people they should protest using baseball bats and other weaponry. But seeing as there are many protests where violence is used less than sparingly (I live in the Netherlands myself, we've seen plenty); I was wondering wether you were aware that this might be sending the wrong message?

I'm not here to tell anybody how to protest. Also, I invite people to use common sense. If you don't know that bringing a baseball bat to a protest is and invitation for trouble then I advise you to stay off of the internet and away from other people.

What is your goal with Comics like "going to a protest" cuz from what I can tell it looks like you're condoning people going out with their identities hidden to cause Mayhem and destruction on our city's. Or am I miss reading it?

I think people have a right to protest without being tracked and profiled by the police.
